The skilled person will understand that the selected frequency of high frequency probe signal can depend on specific dynamic loudspeaker Impedance operator and various other application limitations and significant changes.In an exemplary embodiment, high frequency probe signal includes Frequency is in 10kHz or more, more preferably in the sine wave of 20kHz or more.The frequency of higher frequency probe signals is preferably sufficiently high with right It is non-audible in audience or user.The non-audible characteristic of high frequency probe signal can be by exploration frequency in the audible of human auditory On limitation (such as on about 20kHz) and cause or because loud speaker can not reproduce the apparent of probe signal frequency Acoustic pressure.The frequency of high frequency probe signal can therefore significant changes;Major diameter woofer can not be generated in such as 1kHz On apparent voice response so that the high frequency probe signal of the loud speaker of the type can be placed in 1kHz or slightly 1kHz it On.On the other hand, the minor diameter gamut mini electric loud speaker for being used for portable communication appts or music player produces The useful acoustic pressure of up to 15kHz or even 20kHz so that the high frequency probe signal of the loud speaker of the type is preferably disposed in 20kHz or slightly on 20kHz to keep non-audible in all scenario.In addition, high frequency probe signal can be also advantageously located at it The voice coil impedance of middle loud speaker shows the frequency range of apparent induction behavior.This is advantageous level detection accuracy, Due to providing the higher of the probe signal electric current of frequency significantly contributed for total voice coil impedance in non-linear voice coil inductance Modulation.
Technical staff will be appreciated that the modulation level of probe signal electric current actual detection can in analog or digital domain with Various modes and complete.In preferred embodiments, the detection of the modulation level of probe signal electric current includes the following steps:
The composite drive signal code of voice coil is flowed through in detection in response to composite drive signal,

Increase high frequency probe signal to audio signal can during the operation of vibrating diaphragm bias detecting method substantially continue into Row does not continue (such as only in the period of the certain characteristics for meeting audio signal) progress.It, should according to preferred embodiment Method includes the following steps:
Compare the level of the audio signal and scheduled threshold level,
Only when Audio Meter is more than scheduled threshold level, high frequency probe signal is increased into audio signal. Therefore, when Audio Meter drops to scheduled threshold level or less, the increase of high frequency probe signal can be interrupted.At this In embodiment, scheduled threshold level ensures that high frequency probe signal only has enough level or amplitude to force in audio signal It is increased to audio signal in the case that the diaphragm of loudspeaker is close to its offset limitation or on its offset limitation.Interrupt high frequency examination The number of making inquiries about can be used for minimize with the related possible audible noise of high frequency probe signal, especially if by high frequency probe Signal is placed in audible frequency range.Alternatively, when Audio Meter drops to scheduled threshold level or less, it can The level for the high frequency probe signal that decayed with certain factor (such as 20dB or more).

Specific implementation mode
Fig. 1 is the signal diagram of the typical dynamic loudspeaker 100 in various types of voice applications.Technical staff It will be appreciated that there are the shape and size of many dynamic loudspeakers, this depends on the desired type of institute of application.With being described below The dynamic loudspeakers 100 of the method and apparatus detected and controlled for loudspeaker excursion there is about 6.5 inches of diaphragm diameter D, but technical staff will be appreciated that the present invention substantially can be applied to all types of dynamic loudspeakers, especially in portable terminal Small-sized electric of the end (such as mobile phone, smart phone and other portable music player devices) for audio reproduction is raised one's voice Device.The largest outer dimension D of such mini electric loud speaker can be in 6mm between 30mm.
Dynamic loudspeaker 100 includes the vibrating diaphragm 10 for being fixed to sound ring frame 20a.Voice coil 20 be wrapped on sound ring frame 20a and Firmly it is attached thereon.Vibrating diaphragm 10 is mechanically coupled to speaker frame 22 also by elastic edge or external suspension frame 12.Annular is forever Long magnet arrangement 18 generates magnetic flux, which is passed by magnetic conduction construction 16 with the round air gap 24 arranged wherein It leads.Circular ventilation ducts 14 are disposed in the center of magnetic conduction construction 16.Pipeline 14 can be used for heat being conducted off in vibrating diaphragm 10 and dustproof cover 11 under the room in addition sealed.Flexible internal suspension 13 is also attached to sound ring frame 20a.In flexible internal suspension 13 for being aligned or making the position of voice coil 20 at the center of air gap 24.Flexible internal suspension 13 and elastic edge suspension 12 cooperation with The compliance of moveable vibrating diaphragm component (voice coil 20, sound ring frame 20a and vibrating diaphragm 10) preferably limited relatively is provided.Flexible internal Each of suspension 13 and elastic edge suspension 12 can be used for limiting peak excursion or the maximum displacement of moveable vibrating diaphragm component.
During the operation of loud speaker 100, drive signal voltage is applied to the voice coil 20 of loud speaker 100.In response, Corresponding voice coil electric current by incude cause in the piston range of loud speaker with the vibrating diaphragm group in the direction indicated by speed arrow V The substantially uniform vibration motion of part.Corresponding acoustic pressure is generated by loud speaker 100 as a result,.In response to the flowing of voice coil electric current The vibration action of voice coil 20 and vibrating diaphragm 10 is caused by radial oriented magnetic field present in air gap 24.The coil current applied Lead to the power attenuation in voice coil 20 with voltage, this heats voice coil during operation.Therefore, the excessively high driving electricity of prolonged application Pressure/electric current can cause voice coil to overheat, this typically results in the failure of dynamic loudspeaker or irreversible damage.Using excessive voice coil It is the electricity for causing various irreversible mechanical failures that electric current, which forces moveable vibrating diaphragm component to be limited beyond its maximum allowable offset, Another most common failure mechanism of dynamic loud speaker.A type of mechanical failure can for example by the lowermost edge of voice coil 20 with Collision between the annular surface part 17 of magnetic conduction construction 16 causes.
The nonlinear main source of loud speaker 100 by the voice coil line in the magnetic field among being placed in magnetic gap 24 offset or displacement Relevant length causes.It is illustrated from the signal of loud speaker 100, is arranged in neighbouring magnetic conduction construction 16 and tends to reduce the big of voice coil 20 Positive (upward) offset and the length of voice coil line of big negative offset of increase voice coil 20 be apparent.Due to close to have voice coil/ The variation of the amount of the permeability magnetic material of the voice coil of vibrating diaphragm offset, the inductance of voice coil 20 show the relevant variation of similar offset, this Using in the present invention as explained in further detail below.
Fig. 2 shows the curves that the voice coil inductance of 6.5 " above-mentioned dynamic loudspeakers 100, Le measure the experiment that vibrating diaphragm deviates Figure 200.Measured voice coil inductance is indicated with Henry along the y-axis of Fig. 2 and is referred to from the offset of the vibrating diaphragm of its resting position with mm Show in x-axis.The resting position (and therefore resting position of Voice coil assemblies) of vibrating diaphragm corresponds to x=0.Any of resting position The symmetry obviously lacked in inductance curve on side is apparent.Inductance increases negative displacement (inside) and reduces positive displacement (outside).The shortage of the symmetry is caused by the apparent asymmetric geometry of the adjacent magnetic circuit of air gap 24.
Fig. 3 is shown across from 10Hz to the measured resistance of the above-mentioned 6.5 " dynamic loudspeakers of the frequency range of about 100kHz Anti- curve 305.The loud speaker produces useful in certain subrange of the frequency range such as between about 50Hz and 10kHz Acoustic pressure, this depends on the shape of the size and the diaphragm of loudspeaker of loudspeaker enclosure among others.The voice coil of loud speaker About 3.5 Ω of DC resistance, as confirmed by measured 10Hz impedances.The low frequency or natural resonant frequency of loud speaker are located at About 50Hz, middle impedance 303 reach about 50 Ω of low frequency peak value.On the natural resonant frequency of loud speaker, loudspeaker impedance Curve 305 shows the impedance of constant rising, this is particularly evident for the frequency on about 3kHz.The rising of the impedance is by sound The inductance of circle causes and continues the frequency to 100kHz for the loud speaker of inspection.Vertical arrows 308 illustrate by voice coil Inductance LeThe high-frequency relevant voice coil resistance of non-linear shift/displacement caused by the relevant change variation of offset of explained earlier It is anti-.Because of voice coil inductance LeTend to dominate voice coil impedance in the frequency field, so the voice coil inductance in voice coil impedance is inclined Move the influence of relevant change becomes particularly evident in high-frequency.

Fig. 5 A) oscillogram 500 show to raise by what a pair of outer of the loudspeaker excursion detector of figure 4 above can access Sound device terminal 411a, terminal 411b are applied to the composite drive signal of the voice coil of dynamic loudspeaker 100.Composite drive signal includes Alternately small/big 60Hz signal components, the variable level of this simulation low-frequency audio signal and the uniform amplitude of 40kHz are high Frequency probe signal.The small level period of 60Hz causes the low offset of moveable Voice coil assemblies and thus voice coil inductance LePhase To constant value, as explained above in association with Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.On the other hand, the 60Hz components of composite drive signal have high electricity Flat period cause moveable Voice coil assemblies it is big offset and thus voice coil inductance LeRelatively large offset relevant change Become, as explained above in association with Fig. 2.
40kHz loudspeaker excursion detector 400 output impedance significantly less than loud speaker 100 40kHz impedance 32 Ω (with reference to the impedance curve 305 described in Fig. 3).For example, the output impedance of the loudspeaker excursion detector 400 in 40kHz It can be under 1.0 Ω so that the level of the substantial constant of composite drive signal driving voltage can be applied to loudspeaker voice coil, This is independently of by voice coil inductance LeThe relevant change of offset caused by loud speaker previously described variable high frequency impedance.
If the 40kHz impedances of voice coil with loudspeaker excursion changes (i.e. as explained above moveable vibrating diaphragm with The big offset of Voice coil assemblies), then the voltage driving for souning out the voice coil of the loud speaker of frequency in 40kHz causes through the bright of voice coil The probe signal electric current of aobvious variation.In the case of opposite, the small offset for moveable vibrating diaphragm and Voice coil assemblies, because of sound The 40kHz impedances of circle keep main constant but regardless of loudspeaker excursion, so the voice coil for souning out frequency in 40kHz obtains constant voltage Driving causes the probe signal electric current by the substantial constant of voice coil.
The phenomenon is in Fig. 5 B) curve graph 502 shown on, show around audio drive signals 60Hz component height The voice coil current waveform 505 of the bandpass filtering for the time-reversal mirror that level changes to low level.The voice coil current waveform 505 of filtering is Through being obtained by by the band-pass filter centered on the probe signal frequency of 40kHz.When 60Hz drive signal components Level when being big (i.e. from t=8.5s to 8.6s), the voice coil current waveform of discribed filtering is transparent to show that high level Modulation, as indicated by the arrow 501 of the top and bottom of the envelope of the voice coil current waveform by tracking filter.In the region The minimum and maximum amplitude of the probe signal electric current of filtering corresponds to the maximum value and minimum value of 60Hz input signals.On the contrary, As by the low level modulation indicated by arrow 503 the 60Hz drive signal components from t=8.6s to 8.85s low level situation Under be apparent.Therefore, by the envelope modulation of the voice coil current waveform of detection filter, moveable vibrating diaphragm component can be detected Displacement.Technical staff will be appreciated that the actually detected of the modulation level of probe signal electric current can be in analog or digital domain with various sides Formula is completed, such as traditional AM demodulation techniques by including signal rectification and low-pass filtering.In other embodiments, can lead to Cross by suitable bottom and top tracker be applied to curve graph 502 filtering voice coil current waveform and detect or estimate exploration The modulation level of signal code.This can pass through in numeric field by the probe signal electric current supplied by analog-digital converter 508 Suitable software function that the DSP 402 (with reference to Fig. 4) that is operated on the digitized version of waveform is executed and complete.
DSP 402 can be otherwise configured to limit or control vibrating diaphragm offset in addition to the detection of above-mentioned vibrating diaphragm/voice coil excursion.It should Offset control can be completed by number of mechanisms.In one embodiment, the maximum allowable offset of dynamic loudspeaker is raised electronic It is determined during calibration measurement on sound device or the dynamic loudspeaker of same type.Corresponding to the probe signal of maximum allowable offset The modulation level of electric current is registered as maximum modulation threshold value or similar modulation level standard.In loudspeaker excursion detector 400 Subsequent operation during, the instantaneous modulation level of probe signal electric current and run on DSP 402 appropriately configured software/ The maximum modulation threshold value of program routine is made comparisons.If the instantaneous modulation level of probe signal electric current is more than maximum modulation threshold Value, then for example (this more has can by the low frequency component for digital audio input signal of selectively decaying by DSP 402 in response Can on drive the speaker limits to its maximum allowable offset) or the entire frequency spectrum of broadband attenuation digital audio input signal decline The level of tally-down audio input signal is to loudspeaker excursion detector 400.
Finally, the skilled person will understand that the 40kHz frequencies that the frequency of high frequency probe signal can be utilized from the present embodiment Rate deviates considerably from, this depends on the impedance operator of specific dynamic loudspeaker.In addition, the frequency of high frequency probe signal should preferably enough It is high so that its present it is non-audible, either because frequency be located at human auditory can on cingulum (i.e. on 20kHz) or Because loud speaker can not be reproduced in the apparent acoustic pressure of probe signal frequency.Therefore the selection of probe signal frequency can significantly become Change, this depends on the acoustics and electrology characteristic of the speaker types just discussed;Major diameter woofer can not be generated for example Voice response on 1kHz so that the high frequency probe signal of the loud speaker of the type can be placed in 1kHz or slightly 1kHz it On.On the other hand, the minor diameter gamut mini electric loud speaker for being used for portable communication appts or music player produces The significant acoustic pressure of up to 15kHz or even 20kHz so that the high frequency probe signal of the loud speaker of the type should be preferably disposed in 20kHz or slightly on 20kHz to keep non-audible.In addition, high frequency probe signal can be also advantageously located at the sound of wherein loud speaker Circle impedance shows the frequency range of apparent induction behavior.This is preferably as bias detecting method and device are to be based on sound Enclose inductance LeThe relevant behavior of above-mentioned offset.
